The genetically modified (GM) Mustard seeds developed by Delhi University’s Centre for Genetic Manipulation of Crop Plants (CGMCP) will be released for sowing after the environment ministry approves it.

“The GEAC has proven yet again that it is unscientific and uncaring with regards to citizen’s health and environment. They have failed in their mandate and purpose for which they have been created, to protect health of citizens from GMO,” said Kavita Karuganti of Coalition for GM Free India.
